Panthers release initial depth chart for Week 10 matchup vs. Saints

The Carolina Panthers made some moves on Tuesday, but they were unrelated to this year's trade deadline.

Nonetheless, this week's depth chart will look a smidge different—as veteran receiver David Moore has been released. Moore had served as the first-string kick and punt returner, roles that will now be taken up by running backs Anthony Tyus III and Trevor Etienne, respectively.

As for the spot left vacant by Moore's departure, the Panthers could activate offensive lineman Brady Christensen back to the roster. Wideout Xavier Legette, who is expected to return to practice on Wednesday, might be another option.

Here, as released this afternoon, is the full initial depth chart heading into the team's Week 10 matchup against the Saints . . .
